Memorializing what is already the standard, is the VERY conservative think to do. The only people who call it anti-conservative are Human Rights Coalition people reading their talking points. They even ran a desperation commercial during the Rush Show.

The goal takes out the FFC issue from the federal government. It removes homosexual marriage from federal immigration law. It puts the issue where it should have been, the states INDIVIDUALLY.

There is no reason to delay when the enemy is accumulating. The time to act is now.

Good reminder of the amendments! But my point is the current morality of the nation. If the courts along with state legislators can't support traditional marriage, then a national amendment is a lost cause. SCOTUS shot down Texas anti-sodomy law, homosexual marriage/unions are recognized by several states. I also think I heard "W" say he was not against civil unions for homosexuals!

An amendment, if it ever gets approved for the states to vote on, will be put together by both sides of this issue. I personally do not want to partake in the construction of what marriage is with homosexuals! It would stink of compromise, blurring the truth.

Lets take this battle to the individual states. Secure the truth of marriage, and deny the moral and legal grounds for homosexual civil unions. The Fed can't even balance their own check book, they most certainly at this point in time cannot define the biblical truth of marriage.
